Theme development

Quick question for y'all:

It's relatively simple to draw a nice box around node content using a Drupal theme engine, i.e. creating a custom node.tpl.php file if using PHPTemplate. But how do I draw such a box around non-node content, such as the registration form? There doesn't seem to be a default template for non-node content that I can create and modify.

Thanks.

I am trying to customize my spread firefox theme. I usually have good luck looking at code and learning it . But I have tried everything and I can not seem to fix my navigation block bug. I want the all the boxs to all be the same size. The top part is one size and the middle is another. I want both to be the same size. My site is http://technstuff.com/ if you want to see the problem. I love drupal but the themes are sometimes a pain for someone just starting to learn how to code websites.

Hi, I'm reworking the marvin theme to suit my needs, but I can't figure out how to center the logo with CSS. I've managed to move the logo by changing the padding settings, but really i'd like to align it properly. Any ideas?

Which is the best template engine to use that is supported by Drupal to carry us into the future? I don't want to spend time creating XTemplate themes if it means there will be no support in future releases?

Also, I need some suggestions on the following:

1) I want to create a custom home page that will be very flexible and look similar to ESPN.com or something similar. I don't like the 3 column layout as it is too restrictive in the middle column.

Using Dupal 4.6.3 according to the changelog, on MacOS 10.3.9 with php5.

I'm currently working on making a theme for a website (strangely enough). I modified an existing theme and kitted it out with a new stylesheet, and for a while all was working well, and I put the site away for a little while. This was a week or so ago. I came back to it recently, fired it up, made some changes and BAMF, no more images. Undid the changes, no deal.

I'm not sure if this topic belongs in Migration, How do I ... styles, or Theme development.

I have a nice PHP Nuke template. I read already that these are transfered to drupal, but HOW? Anyone have any experience or advise? Or am I stuck ( http://drupal.org/node/2042 )?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,
